  • Don't Get Lost With Foreign Languages  + (Every day, everyone must use their own lanEvery day, everyone must use their own language, especially the Balinese who use Balinese. But in the current era, Balinese people prefer to use foreign languages compared to Balinese. Just look at the circumstances around us, the booming trend of entertainment such as Korean dramas, anime, and so on causes the Balinese to use these foreign languages more often. So that the Balinese language, which is the mother tongue, is left behind in its application. Many Balinese people, especially the younger generation, are starting to abandon the use of Balinese and switch to using foreign languages, this event is of course very worrying. We as Balinese people should be able to maintain and preserve the Balinese language so that it will continue to be passed on to our children and grandchildren so we don't lose to the existence of foreign languages around us. Do you want our Balinese language to be lost to time? Therefore, let us preserve the Balinese language together by using Balinese in our daily activities, especially traditional activities such as gathering with Banjar youths, and so on.

As we already know, every country has its own different religions, as in Indonesia, there are 6 recognized religions including Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Catholicism, Buddhism and Confucianism. also the spells and prayers and the mention of the name of God in each of these religions. Differences in views within one religion can lead to conflicts within the body of a religion itself. The difference in views is one of the differences that seem real. Then there were also differences in religious organizations. Various policies were carried out by the government so that people of other religions would not interfere with each other. As much as possible avoid the tendency of conflict due to religious differences. All layers of society together create an atmosphere of harmony, peace, tranquility and harmony in the life of society, nation and state within the framework of the unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia which is based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. religious harmony by building strong tolerance, tolerance is a human behavior or attitude that does not deviate from applicable law where a person respects or appreciates every action taken by another person, while religious tolerance is respecting opinions, respecting the adherents of each religion . The ways to build tolerance are by:</br> 1. Not forcing others to follow our religion or beliefs. Freeing other people to choose their own religion according to the 1st precepts of Belief in the One and Only God</br> 2. Not insulting, vilifying and not criticizing other people's religions</br> 3. Do not disturb and do not prohibit other religions from carrying out their worship at the time of worship.</br> The ways that can be done can help us to maintain religious harmony that exists in Indonesia because it is not only maintaining religious harmony, but with this strong tolerance we can strengthen a sense of brotherhood with differences such as race, culture, economy. , Social that exists in human life.

  • MEBAT. You can buy, but can is a must..... So a little is okay  + (Every six months we Balinese usually hold Every six months we Balinese usually hold a big cooking party (mebat) and make lawar (a traditional Balinese coconut dish). Also, during big temple festivals and other ceremonies, we young Balinese are very eager to do it every day. However, today we can buy any kind of lawar. There are a lot of lawar sellers. Those who are experts in cooking lawar will be in demand. But are we just going to buy lawar without being able to make it? We have been going to school for 12 years and there is not even a single lawar cooking class except those who study in tourism schools. In fact, cooking parties (mebat) have a lot of benefits, far more than a part of ceremonies or just a relief to the urge of the belly. For instance, we can gather and learn to work together, to make friends, and to share laughters and jokes. I hope this mebat culture can enter the schools for its preservation. It’s useful for the youth to prepare them to get involved in society. If a married Balinese person can’t even peel a coconut, it will be very embarrassing!l a coconut, it will be very embarrassing!)

While living here, I’ve learned to become more grateful for everything I have. I’m grateful for the fact that I am able to call a place like Bali, home. Living in Bali has provided me with the opportunity to become more open-minded by living in a place rich in culture and unique traditions, ceremonies, and art.</br>From holidays such as Nyepi where the Balinese people create enormous ogoh-ogohs that are extremely intricate and detailed to other ceremonies such as Galungan when the streets are lined with penjors and processions of Balinese in traditional attire.</br></br>I also always experience the kind, hospitable, and welcoming community provided by the people of Bali.

Over time, I have come to see her as a cherished family member who has helped raise me since the day I was born. She treats me as if I were her own child, and has become my Balinese mother. From watching me take my first steps to teaching me Balinese, I’m grateful to have someone like her in my life.</br></br>I’m also always grateful for the natural environment of Bali. Every time I visit my home country, South Korea during school holidays, I see modern, urban cities that are constantly busy and bustling. When I’m there, I miss Bali.

From looking up to the sky in the afternoon and seeing all the young children flying their kites high in the sky.</br></br>Despite having lived in Bali my whole life, the beauty of Bali never seems to wear off or lose its novelty. Every morning I’m reminded of its magic - looking out the window and watching the sunrise, listening to the melodic sounds of birds chirping, and the resonating crow of roosters, Bali’s natural alarm clock. Every day ends with a sky full of amazing, mesmerizing colors, displaying a changing palette of colors, always different from the day before.</br></br>The place I call home.

  • Literature PEMBUATAN GARAM TRADISIONAL SEMAKIN TIDAK DIPERHATIKAN OLEH PEMUDA BALI  + (Fewer people are working in traditional saFewer people are working in traditional salt production in Bali. How about the young generation? They may not even care about it. This fact is published in Orti Semarapura, on Balipost.com, on 25 July 2017 entitled “Endangered, salt farmers without regeneration". The article discusses the fact that the traditional salt-making process in the coastal villages is subsiding. Salt farmers are diminishing in quantity because almost no one wants to continue the job. It creates major problems in Bali’s local salt production. One of the major factors of why young generations are reluctant to be salt farmers is the profit. Years ago, there were about 50 salt farmer families. As years went by, many of them changed their job for a better income to support the family. Now there are only 17 families of salt farmers, and most of them are aged and unable to seek for other jobs. The young generation think that salt farming is outdated and unprofitable. Technological advancement has not reached this sector. The farmers still rely on traditional methods which are contradictory to what the young people are up to today.</br> </br>The above data has proven that almost nobody cares about Balinese traditional salt-making process. The main problem is how young generation think about: it simply can’t give them a happy and prosperous life. If this problem persists, the Balinese traditional salt farmers will be no more.</br> </br>Furthermore, according to Central Bureau of Statistics’ data, there is a significant decrease of local salt production from 2011 to 2016. In 2011, Bali produced 3,339 tons of local salt, while in 2015, it increased significantly to 10,548 tons. Gradually until 2016, it decreased rapidly to only 500 tons. The bureau also discovered that there has been an apparent narrowing of salt farmers’ production land from 2014 (174 hectars) to only 23 hectars in just 2 years (2016). This is a result of the lack of young generation’s interest in the salt farming industry. Also, an article from Scientific News Magazine, August 2017 edition, mentions that there is an uncertain amount of local salt production because it still relies on a traditional method. Therefore, it fully depends on the sun, temperature, air, and production area that keeps narrowing.</br> </br>Based on this fact, it is the government’s duty to focus more on the salt farmers’ welfare to stimulate the number of salt farmers in Bali. One of the efforts that needs to be urgently carried out by the government is to issue a legal policy regarding selling regulation and protection for micro salt farmers. If the government doesn’t pay attention to the local salt farmers, the production will cease. The government should also give capital aids, empowerment aids such as production techniques and facilities so that Balinese salt quality is no less competitive than imported salt. If the government has properly socialized and regulated the local salt production and given an appropriate capital injection, Bali’s salt production will re-flourish and the farmers will be more prosperous.h and the farmers will be more prosperous.)

  • Literature Saran Darurat Rakyat tentang Penanganan Covid-19 untuk Pemerintah  + (For more than a year, Indonesia has faced For more than a year, Indonesia has faced the Covid-19 pandemic, since March 2, 2020. However, Covid-19 has not yet been controlled. In fact, the trend of Covid-19 cases and deaths continues to increase. As a result, many hospitals are full. Covid-19 patients are asked to self-isolate at home. The number of deaths increased sharply. Oxygen cylinders in hospitals are running low. Actually, there is another way to firmly break this chain of transmission by holding a total restriction or lock down. However, the government prefers the option of implementing Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) to reduce the rate of transmission of Covid-19 on the islands of Java and Bali. It is true that we have to be extra prepared for the lock down option. Likewise the state, which has an obligation to meet the basic needs of its people. As stated in the Law. However, in the policy for the Implementation of Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM), it should have been prepared before the implementation was carried out. This is what makes people who until now still violate it. The low level of public compliance with this implementation is due to government errors in policy making and inconsistencies. In addition, there is a corruption case of the Covid-19 social assistance which has seriously injured the people so that the level of trust is decreasing. It takes collaboration between the government and the community and efforts to improve the quality of public compliance with policies that can end the Covid-19 pandemic. The government must also cooperate with several religious leaders, influencers, and artists to jointly socialize about the importance of strictly implementing health protocols.

  • Paplajahan sané Kajahin antuk Bali ring Déwék Tiang olih Thomas Ward  + (Four years ago, in 2019, I stepped foot inFour years ago, in 2019, I stepped foot into a house of which I would be living in after my family's transition from Singapore to Bali, Indonesia, the Island of Gods. After countless trips to and from Bali, my parents found it quite a formidable place to live in. This was because unlike most countries, including Singapore, Bali consists of a variety of fascinating species of animals and a wide range of vegetation spread amongst its land. If you were presented with such an opportunity to live in a fantasy such as the one Bali is, wouldn't you transfer yourself to witness and experience it. Well for my parents, that was definite.</br>Without further ado, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Thomas Ward and I am currently in grade six attending Bali Island School. As mentioned before, I originally lived in Singapore as that is where I was born. My Mother was born in the Netherlands and my Father was born in the U.K. And two years after my birth I met with my ever so loving sister, Ella. As well as me she was also born in Singapore and was only five years old when we moved.</br>Throughout my four years living here and countless week vacations prior to moving, I have had many experiences of which I have had the ability to learn from. Now, I would like to cover two of the most valuable lessons I have been taught as an immigrant in Bali.</br>1.Cultures and religions outside my own.</br>As a whole, Indonesia is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. But Bali alone is prominently run by Balinease customs and traditions with Western culture being widely accepted but less dominant than the Balinese. This has given me the opportunity to witness culture outside Singapore's Eurasian and East Asian values and celebrations.</br>During my first year in Bali I noticed a big difference between holidays compared to Singapore. Let's take Christmas as an example. In Singapore between October and November is when Christmas decorations start to appear around every community. But in Bali, the streets are not covered in red and green but instead are just the same as any other day. After being exposed to a much different culture than what I grew up in, I was able to develop my cultural awareness.</br>2.The differences between the rich and poor.</br>Indonesia is a developing country and this is quite apparent in most parts of Bali. Singapore is a first world country and you will rarely find rundown or abandoned buildings. However, when I visited Buleleng, in the north of Bali, last summer, I noticed a major difference in wealth. To see such a massive level of inequality you don’t even have to travel outside of Bali. Seminyak is Bali’s richest area, and from luxury shops to fine dining, it definitely shows. But Buleleng suffers from far more deprivation. Through witnessing such gaps in economic strength, I am weary to stay mindful and grateful of what I have that others might not, even if they are necessities such as shelter or sufficient food.sities such as shelter or sufficient food.)
